We Need Your Help

As you all know, each year the Foundation holds many activities which include the Fall "Fun" Raiser Party, Luncheon & Fashion Show, the Golf Event and the Bluegrass & BBQ.  These events help raise monies to support worthy activities and projects in South Sarasota County by providing financial grants to qualified not for profit organizations. 

This year our Fundraising Season is all about the letter "C".  Covid has altered our lives but Community will be our operative word.  We have Challenges to be faced.  Change will be necessary this year.  The events we are planning will often be outside and many more of them, with reduced participants so we can social distance.  Caring for our neighbors and members will be our top priority.  We're asking for your Commitment as we move through these difficult times.

We're looking for volunteers that would Chair or help with one of our mini events.  We've brainstormed a list, but we're always looking for new fundraising ideas.  Some of the committees are in place, however we welcome members that would like to be more activly involved.

There are numerous ways of helping whether it be joining a committee to help set up for an event, soliciting area merchants for raffle items and/or donations, selling tickets before or at an event, volunteering to be a cashier for an event .........just to name a few.  It takes many volunteers to make an event successful.  

Other areas:

• Foundation Board
• Grant Committee
• Various opportunities to work in areas of auctioneering, entertainment, events planning, raffles, decorations, etc.

Don't forget our Huggy Bears program that utilizes volunteers to sew, stuff, and deliver teddy bears to children in the ER at Venice Hospital.

Tell us your interests and skills in the message area of the form below and submit to the PCF.  Your information will be shared with a committee chair who will contact you. Sign up to help the PCF "Rise to the Challenge" in South Sarasota County.
